Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School's 21st annual Superintendent's Dinner will be held Wednesday, April 9, in the school. The gala event, the school's major fund-raiser, is sponsored by the school's Business Education Enrichment Fund to raise money to fund scholarships, programs and activities not covered by the regular school budget. This year's theme is An Evening In Tuscany, and will feature appetizers, dishes, wines, music and decorations reflecting the region. A social hour starting at 5 p.m. will include champagne, seafood bar, cheese and fruit trays, antipasti (a wide assortment of hot and cold appetizers) and a Tuscan sauté station. The six-course gourmet dinner will follow at 6 with Tuscan Steak Fiorentina, thyme mascarpone potato gratin and fresh seasonal vegetables as the entrée. As a thank-you for attending, each guest will receive a Shaker style sofa table crafted by students and teachers in the Cabinetmaking program. For ticket information, call 978-345-9200 or 978-632-8889, ext. 5206.
